Working With Trees for Life
As a carbon conscious company Vegetarian Express contribute annually to our very own corporate grove. We feel this is a great way for us to support Trees for Life, who are the only organisation specifically dedicated to restoring the Caledonian Forest to a target area of 600 sq miles in the Scottish Highlands.
Trees for Life is an award winning conservation charity who work in partnership with the Forestry Commission, RSPB and private landowners, and own and manage the 10,000 acre Dundreggan Estate. Hundreds of volunteers help annually in planting over 100,000 trees in protected areas, and carry out other restoration work such as seed collection and propagation of young trees and rare woodland plants. They have planted over 800,000 trees since 1989.
